And I'm here the first standing here on the moon
It took us years of work
But we got through
And yet now, I'm here just on my own
So cry a tear for the man on the moon
Cry a tear for the man in the moon
Cry a tear for the man in the moon

And this spinning blue jewel here in my palm
Far away down there just seems so small
And yet, now I'm here I see it all
So cry a tear for the man in the moon

And yet, now I'm here I see it all
So cry a tear for the man in the moon
Cry a tear for the man in the moon
Cry a tear for the man in the moon
